Uruguay
Index
The authors would like to acknowledge the contributions
of
Thomas E. Weil, Jan Knippers Black, Kenneth W. Martindale,
David
S. McMorris, Sally Engle Merry, and Frederick P. Munson,
who
wrote the 1971 first edition of Uruguay: A Country
Study.
The present volume incorporates portions of their work.
The authors are grateful to individuals in various
agencies
of the United States government, private institutions, and
Uruguayan diplomatic offices, particularly the Uruguayan
Mission
to the Organization of American States, who gave their
time,
research materials, and special knowledge to provide
information
and perspective. These individuals include Ralph K.
Benesch, who
oversees the Country Studies-Area Handbook Program for the
Department of the Army. None of these individuals,
however, is in
any way responsible for the work of the authors.
The authors also would like to thank those who
contributed
directly to the preparation of the manuscript. These
include
Lynne Shaner, who edited the chapters; Marilyn L. Majeska,
who
managed the editing; Andrea T. Merrill, who performed the
final
prepublication editorial review and managed production;
Barbara
Edgerton, Janie L. Gilchrist, and Izella Watson, who did
the word
processing; and Tim L. Merrill, who provided geographical
assistance. In addition, Joan C. Cook compiled the index,
and
Malinda B. Neale and Linda Peterson of the Library of
Congress
Printing and Processing Section performed
phototypesetting, under
the supervision of Peggy Pixley.
David P. Cabitto, assisted by Sandra K. Ferrell and
Kimberly
A. Lord, provided invaluable graphics support. Sandra K.
Ferrell
prepared the ranks and insignia charts; Kimberly A. Lord
prepared
the illustrations and all the maps except for the
topography and
drainage map, which was prepared by Harriett R. Blood.
Finally, the authors acknowledge the generosity of the
individuals and the public and private agencies who
allowed their
photographs to be used in this study.
